The RIBA Europe’s new focus will lay the foundations for an enhanced presence across the continent. The aim will be to celebrate and support members coming together from different parts of Europe and to extend the membership through locally-focused activity.
Together with Waldemar Koehler, RIBA Councillor for the Europe region, we have created a 'Europe Group’ who have volunteered to organise a series of activities to encourage member connectivity in the region. Activities which will showcase the diverse nature of architecture across the continent.
We will be running a series of events across Europe during 2024 including in Frankfurt, Madrid and Milan. More details to follow.
Our first event will take place in Paris on Thursday 29 February and Friday 1 March 2024, which will include some engaging building tours and a cocktail reception.
